This study evaluated the adhesive strength of biological restorations compared to conventional porcelain restorations through a microtraction test and fracture areas evaluation. 24 recently extracted and planed third molar crowns were randomly divided into a control (n = 12; porcelain restorations) and an experimental group (n = 12, biological restorations). Biological restorations were made from fragments of the teeth andporcelain crowns with the same dimensions using composite resin. After 24 hours, the teeth were submitted to thermal cycles and to microtraction. Fracture analysis was performed with a stereoscopic magnifying glass; samples were characterized by SEM. Data analysis was performed with the Student’s t-test and the chi-squared test (p ? 0.05). A significant difference was found regarding the type of fracture (p = 0.015), with adhesive fracture rate of 75% in the experimental group. Biological restorations constitute a viable option for the re-establishment of function and esthetics on posterior teeth.
